“Thank you so much for voting for me. It’s a true honour and definitely a lovely confidence boost. I’m proud of me and I am who I am. I know that I’m marmite and I wouldn’t wanna be anything less or anything more, I’m just myself. The FHM shoot is without a doubt the sexiest thing I’ve ever done. I believe in embracing being sexy but I’m not one to agree with stripping off for the cameras, I like to be more subtle than that as these shots show. This is an award that will stay on the mantelpiece probably for the rest of my life.”

Tulisa said that she would have voted for Megan Fox or Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley to be named the sexiest woman in the world. Tulisa said:

“People always talk about the 100 Sexiest – girls as well – and to think that you’d actually be in it…! I like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, she’s amazing, I love her and Megan Fox too, I think she’s really hot.”

Joe Barnes, Editor of FHM, commented:

“The response we’ve had from readers for FHM’s 100 Sexiest has been overwhelming this year – it really shows the enduring power of FHM and the brand’s ability to engage with men in the UK and around the world. There are definitely a few surprise omissions and new entries, but it’s fantastic to see such a strong British showing, with three quarters of the top 20 coming from the UK and Ireland. Big congratulations go out to Tulisa, who’s had a sensational year, and I’m sure will only go on to bigger and better things over the next 12 months.”

Tulisa made headlines a few weeks when her sex tape leaked online. Tulisa admitted that she was the woman in the tape but downplayed its graphic nature. Tulisa said:”I would hardly call it a sex tape… For one, there was no sex involved.”
